Former US President Donald Trump (French)

Russian writer Ivan Bolnin said - in a report published by the newspaper "Gazeta" - that public opinion in the United States believes that President Joe Biden's age does not allow him to assume a second term, at a time when Biden himself confirms that 9 heads of state are waiting for him to win the elections.

Biden had revealed - on many occasions - that democracy in other countries was at stake, indicating that Washington's international partners were waiting for him to win the presidential elections, and that 9 foreign country leaders told him that they did not want another candidate to win.

Former President Donald Trump (77 years old) is considered his potential rival, Biden, a favorite among Republicans.

Does not fit

The Russian newspaper reported that studies conducted by Morning Consult in February showed that at the beginning of the month, 42% of respondents supported Biden, compared to 44% for Trump.

But at the end of the month, the data changed, as 41% expressed their willingness to vote for the current president, compared to 45% for Trump.

According to a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University, nearly 70% of participants said that Biden is not qualified to assume a second presidential term due to his age, and 62% of Americans indicated the deterioration of his health, and as for Trump, 41% of respondents describe him as old, as shown. Gazeta.

Biden's opponents in the United States have raised concerns about his age and mental capacity since the beginning of the 2020 election campaign.

The "Gazeta" report shows that Biden's allies among foreign officials do not feel embarrassed or dissatisfied with the age of the US President, especially German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who publicly supported Biden's re-election, expressing his confidence in his ability to accomplish the task in a second term.

Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin himself admitted that the current head of the White House would be the best choice for Moscow, saying, "Biden is a more experienced and predictable person, and he is an old-fashioned politician. But we will work with any leader whom the American people trust."

Gazeta quoted American affairs researcher Malik Dudakov as saying that panic is prevailing among liberal elites about the possibility of Trump returning to the White House.

According to Dudakov, many countries hope that Trump will win because it is easy to resolve many issues with him, such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, with whom he had a good personal relationship.

He added that the advantages of a Trump or Biden victory are not a clear issue for the countries of the South, Russia and China, stressing that the matter will be very difficult for Beijing with both of them, and even more difficult if Trump wins.

As for Moscow, there is no difference between who will be at the head of the White House.

For Vladimir Vasiliev, chief researcher at the Institute of the United States and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the US President’s statement about foreigners’ support for his victory reflects the state of conflict within the Democratic Party, and an attempt by the Biden team to prove its worth and show that its withdrawal from the race could create chaos and major problems.
